Increased platelet inhibition after switching from prasugrel to low-dose ticagrelor in Japanese patients with prior myocardial infarction

Abstract: Background: Ticagrelor and prasugrel are novel and potent P2Y12 inhibitors. Ticagrelor 90 mg or 60 mg twice daily is known to reduce ischemic events but be associated with an increased risk of bleeding in patients with prior myocardial infarction in Western countries. Although ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily was tested in a randomized clinical trial in East Asia, the clinical significance of ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate platelet inhibition of low-dose ticagrelor compared t… Show more

“…In this scenario, ticagrelor may be an alternative to avoid HPR. We and others have reported that ticagrelor provided more potent platelet inhibition than prasugrel 29,30) . In our previous report, PRU values were significantly lower in patients treated with 60 mg of ticagrelor twice daily than those treated with 3.5 mg of prasugrel once daily, and no patients had HPR on ticagrelor in Japanese patients with prior myocardial infarction 30) .…”

Although antithrombotic therapy was used to mitigate thrombotic risks, their use must be balanced against bleeding complications; potent antiplatelet therapy under a risk score guidance presumably has a potential to improve clinical outcomes.…”

“…We excluded the TROPICAL-ACS trial because of short DAPT treatment for 7 days, which didn’t match the inclusion criteria of the potent DAPT treatment for the acute phase of ACS should be at least 1 month [ 33 ]. Several studies suggested there might be larger response variability and high platelet reactivity after DAPT de-escalation from a potent P2Y12 inhibitor to clopidogrel, due to the peculiar bio-transfer process of the prodrug of clopidogrel [ 34 , 35 ]. Hence, the TROPICAL-ACS trial aimed to investigate the effects of DAPT de-escalation from prasugrel to clopidogrel guided by platelet function testing, and the results suggested the DAPT de-escalation guided by genetic or platelet function testing was non-inferior to standard DAPT based on prasugrel [ 33 ].…”

“…Ticagrelor is a new adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonist providing prompter and more potent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel, and it is less susceptible to CYP2C19 polymorphisms [ 10 , 37 , 47 , 48 ]. Because ticagrelor itself is an active antiplatelet agent, it does not require an activation process, unlike clopidogrel and prasugrel.…”
